Summary - Flat 5, 46 Emperor's Gate SW7 4HJ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright, spacious one-bed in South Kensington — share of freehold and excellent transport links.
South-facing reception with three large windows and high ceilings
Set on a quiet stretch of Emperor’s Gate, this well-presented one-bedroom apartment combines period character with bright, modern living. The open-plan reception and kitchen are warmed by three large south-facing windows, creating a sunny living space with high ceilings and built-in storage. The large double bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom and generous wardrobe space, making the layout genuinely comfortable for single professionals or couples.
Practical positives include a share of freehold, double glazing (install date unknown) and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal—useful for remote working. The building sits 0.4 miles from Gloucester Road station, with convenient access to shops, Waitrose, restaurants and several prestigious independent schools nearby.
Notable considerations: the flat is in a Victorian building constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, which can affect heating efficiency. The service charge is approximately £3,000 per year. There is one full bathroom plus a separate guest WC, and mains gas boiler heating. Buyers should confirm building maintenance history and recent glazing/heating upgrades before committing.
Overall, this central SW7 apartment offers a bright, roomy base in an affluent, well-connected neighbourhood. It suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting a period property with modern feel, provided they factor in service charges and potential retrofit or maintenance costs.
